He also announced that Nigeria attracted more than $30 billion in foreign direct investments (FDI) in 2023, noting that his administration was committed to free enterprise, free entry, and free exit in investments.

“This principle guides the divestment transactions in our upstream petroleum sector, where we are committed to changing the fortune positively,” Tinubu said.

He, however, urged Nigerians that better days are ahead of us, noting that “the challenges of the moment must always make us believe in ourselves. We are Nigerians—resilient and tenacious. We always prevail and rise above our circumstances.”
